SSplaytoy Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 That's crazy. I have never heard of a sunroof flyin off. Luckily no one was hurt in the incident and she was completely honest with you. Good luck on the fix man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 wow, that's crazy. sorry to hear it happen. I would make her pay for it. IMO if you damage something you're using, it's up to you to pay for the fix. If I damaged a friends vehicle while I was borrowing it I would pay to have it fixed. How and why did the sun roof fly off? I've never heard of that happening so I wonder if the installer is to blame. Hope you get it fixed soon.

2bfast Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Never heard of a sunroof flying off either. Actually seen a couple times T-Tops fly off an F-body before......guy had way more torque for not having any chassis mods done and it twisted on launch and off she came! haha it was wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be something different if she wrecked the truck or was hotrodding and something broke. But a glass top flying off? That's not through any fault of hers.

elcompalaline Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Bummer, IMO it was not her fault and like everyone will tell ya......sh!t happens. Good luck on the repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC Silverado Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yeah it was crazy i've seen it happen before i've seen some crazy things being in a marine town when people do half ass work. but yeah the sunroof was a factory option and as far as i know it's never been replaced but hey what do i know i mean i didn't get a work sheet on it. Im glad she was completely honest with me because she knows the things i've said i'd do to people if they ever hurt my truck she was petrified to tell me she told me she was afraid that i would hurt her and our friendship was over, i just gave her a hug and told her it was going to be all ok, and i'm paying for it because in no way was it her fault that the sun roof flew off so she's not obligated to pay for it now if she had done something to make it break then yeah i'd of made her pay for it. The sunroof wasn't opened at all, it was closed and sealed shut but i mean we were having gusts of wind upto 65 MPH and rollin' down the highway doing 70 and then add another gust of wind on top of it just got up under it and then off she went i looked at the damage though and it's just the glass and nothing else so i'm going to guess that the damn whatever held it down which looked like a glue just couldn't hold on to it and them BAM off it went down the road shattering all over the place .... SAD DAY! FREAKIN' A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAD DAY! FREAKIN' A I'd say the installer was to blame then. you driving a 2003 SS? A sun roof wasn't an option back then. it wasn't offered till 2005 I think. Maybe the dealership desiced to add it. Either way it doesn't appear to be her fault so no, I wouldn't make her pay for it. just sucks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
